Life as a Stay-At-Home Mom (SAHM)...it ain't what it used to be and it may not be what you think. This blog is simply a place to share my ideas, stories and whatever tidbits I find as a modern homemaker stalking the internet to find great ideas that anyone can use.

So, I can't believe this year is almost over! I have had all these ideas for postings this holiday seasons and well, life got in the way :-)
Tomorrow night we will be getting together to ring in the new year and I saw these recipes and decided to try them. I put them together pretty fast and was out of the kitchen and dishes in the dishwasher in about an hour. I didn't take pics but I thought I would share the recipes with all of you....Enjoy and Happy New Year!

Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball - It's Paula Deen's recipe, so you can't really go wrong! I forgot the cocoa powder at the store, so I used Nestle's Quik. I am going to serve it with graham crackers.

Pumpkin Fluff Dip- I got this from one of my favorite crafting blogs. I didn't have any pumpkin pie spice, but decided to lightly sprinkle in some cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger and it worked great. Got to lick the bowl a little afterward and it tastes yummy. Serving it with graham crackers, too.
